And the title goes to the wrong contestant…
Colombian dailies, meanwhile, carried headlines of the freaky incident, saying that Gutierrez has been a Miss Universe “for two minutes”.
The host of the Miss Universe beauty contest says he feels “terrible” for accidentally handing the crown to the runner up.
The real victor was Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who looked astonished by the sudden turn of events.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Miss Colombia broke her silence and gracefully stated, “Everything happens for a reason”.
However, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Harvey left the Miss Universe rehearsals early: “Steve went to the beginning of rehearsals, but missed the last hour, at least”.
Wurtzbach covered her mouth in shock when Harvey announced the correction.
Germany refused to explain more about her previous statement, but added, “We really like Colombia and we’re really happy for her”.
The new Miss Universe is just as confused as everyone else.
What are your thoughts on the Miss Philippines reaction news? “I’m so sorry to say it”.
Miss Philippines did end up receiving the diamond and blue topaz crown, but Miss Germany said she was surprise because none of the contestants voted for her. Am I really Miss Universe?
She is then led off the stage by a pageant organizer amid cheers of “Colombia!”. Trump subsequently sold the pageant and tweeted after the flub that it “would never have happened” on his watch.
Pacquiao is the only fighter to win world titles in eight different weight divisions but he was beaten by Mayweather in Las Vegas earlier this year.
The road to the Miss Universe crown is never easy. Sarah Murdoch was named the wrong victor on Australia’s Next Top Model.
